PATRICK Herrmann scored twice as Borussia Moenchengladbach swept to its first win over Bayer Leverkusen in 16 years for an emphatic 6-3 away victory on Sunday.
Also, Borussia Dortmund beat Stuttgart 3-1 in the day's other match in the Bundesliga.
Gladbach rattled up a four-goal lead in the second half to make sure of its first success in the fixture since beating Leverkusen 1-0 away on March 5, 1994 - a run of 26 games.
Herrmann struck either side of a goal by Roel Brouwers to give Gladbach a 3-1 lead at halftime, Eren Derdiyok pulling one back for the home side. Further goals followed from Juan Arango in the 56th minute and Mohamadou Idrissou in the 60th, either side of a penalty converted by Arturo Vidal for Leverkusen.
Marco Reus made it 6-2 in the 69th minute, before Leverkusen's Stefan Kiessling cut the lead a minute later.
"We would not even talk about such a game in our dreams," Gladbach coach Michael Frontzek said. "It was a perfect away match for us. And now we have two weeks to celebrate. We have been waiting a long time for this win."
Victory gave Gladbach four points from two games, while Leverkusen has three points.
In the late match, Dortmund raced into a 3-0 lead after 37 minutes to make sure of its first win of the season. Dortmund got off to an ideal start when Stuttgart defender Khalid Boulahrouz scored an own goal in the fifth minute. Lucas Barrios then doubled the lead in the 26th and Mario Goetze added the third.
Stuttgart pulled a goal back in the 69th minute when Cacau headed home a cross, but it was not enough to prevent the club making its worst start to a Bundesliga season with two consecutive defeats.
In France, a late goal by Anthony Modeste gave Girondins Bordeaux a 1-1 draw at home to 10-man Olympique Marseille in Ligue 1.
The champion took an early lead through Argentine midfielder Lucho Gonzalez but then had midfielder Edouard Cisse sent off after 34 minutes. Elsewhere, Paris St Germain crashed 3-1 at Sochaux.
